House of Paine

fuckin ya at both ends

 

  here's the mix up
broadcast on all wavelengths 

1 wagelings

" borrow like theres no tomorrow"

2  wagelings

" you gotta save ...
come on
       look to your future ...
there's
 health retirement education...."


  can 
these two

" tower pushes"

 be made consistent ?

======================


   

so whats the story ?

contradictions 
contradictions
 contradictions


sure sure sure

but
how about 
 some specifics please 

----------------------

  ok 

here's a few 

tower house rules


rule one 

go ahead
 nit balls 
borrow max


the deeper in debt

 the more we'll sweat

the more hours
 we'll sell  

  fact : 
overall 
 wageling
 hours sold
 rise 
 as wageling  debts
 rise 


  general law of exchange:

 more supply 
generally means
 what
 gang?
 
yes 
lower prices 

 boss win win 

--------------------------------------------------
rule two

its totally  
up ta U 
  


 if paying
for it's
 coming 
out of
 your 
cash
or 
credit 
personally 

you'll scrimp on it 

so boss types
want uz  
to trade in
 the present
compulsory  socialized
 tax- transfer system

 for a two bit tango
type
 personal savings account
set up 

watch out  
fellow critters

they ain't bluffing!
 
why ?

bottom line
cause
 it cuts social overhead 

    the total expenditure 
  
on
 health
 education
retirement 
 disability 
unemployment   
 etc etc
will fall fall fall 

 besides 
its
got to be done
 so
lets cut the pain of it

and isn't it a fact

"people prefer  
  to they're
gyp  themselves"


so
one way or other


 we'll be 
 working
 longer

retiring 
later 

 getting 

 a new
 lower paying 
 job 
faster

and 
a coronary 
by pass  
 slower 
 
etc etc etc 
-------------------------

my favorite

scrooge fest : 

bob cratchet's
a dying man
with a choice 

 use up  his savings
 to live
 2 years  longer

or kill himself now 
and  leave
 something 
 for tiny tim
and the rest of 
 the kids

ding ding

round two 
another
boss win win 
----------------------

by the way 

this cut overhead trick
has some venerable roots 

 check out A Smith
    
 the case of 
   slave v yeoman

         old Adam's  verdict :

  society' ll 
"waste less"
on its producer-klass
if 
 its  free

cause that way 
 up keep  
  is  on 
  its  own
household by household 
  tab
 and not 
       say 
on  massahs tab  

(or uncle Sams )

--------------------------------------------

rule three


  watch  em polarize 


when and if 
we 
leave it up to

" the folks themselves"

 the tower boyz 
know 
   we'll 
 go 
 over board
on both sides 

  where as 

  now 
 uncle keeps
 the deal  
  steaming along 
   with 
 " just enough
  just  in time  "

 if wagelings
are left 
to  do the providing
for 
themselves

 they 'll
 split two ways

the decent ones 
   will
 overdo  it 

  its why insurance exists 
 
     and
 0n the other hand
your trash 
  will go
 the lillys of the field route 

and zero down 
 

 either way

ding ding

round three is also

a  boss win win 

------------------------------------------
  crib notes :

1for  over providing
  households 

among other results
of greater risks
like longer job hours 
theres
the added spice
that 

" fuck we'll steal most
 of their save ups 
away from em 
in trading and spec shuffles "


    and 

 2  for under providing..

  thats easy
comes a crisis 
  
 can you say
             
       " shit out of luck"
----------------------------------------------

rule four

this is actually the clincher

like the guy
with the scooper 
 walking behind the elephants 


  the proper 
wage  rate 
 discovery probe

  or how to 
 flush out
 the slack 


if wagelings
got stuff 
left over to put away
for a rainy day 

  the kaps
figure
they must be
 doing
 something wrong 

so obviously

they want
to
 find  out 

how wrong

heres a way

don't lend or tax provide
encourage them
 to save 
 for trouble
and betterment
and and ....

  then
watch 
 the savings rates

and 
gradually 
 take 
that rate
  out of
 their  wage rate 

a tad of 
 inflation 
 held to over time
eats like pac man 


its simple really

like that serpant 
thats swallowing 
its own  tail 

and voluntary  too


if wagelings 
can voluntarily 
belt tighten
  to provide 
for their own  future 
well 
then
 the wage system 
 is a few sizes 
too big

--------------------------------


in all these cases
one thing
is perfectly clear;

we need 
an intervention 
to save uz
 from ourselves 

get uz back
 where we 
       belong

hand to mouthin' it 
---------------------------------------
"second 
iron law 
of wages :  

any 
  savings potential
that survives
the first 
iron law 
of wages 
needs to have
  the life  squeezed
out of it "
   F LASALLE 1861

fuck
thats 
  only
 fit and proper 
cowhands!




==================



 up shot  wagelings:

you better start
  fuckin em  back

maximize
the minimums

and
 minimize
 the maximums

highest minimum wage

lowest maximum  hours 

annnddddd

spend
 your take home 
hardons

all of it

before
 they start
 taking
 it away


and if
per chance 
 ya need 
something more
storm
 the executive suite
